 * THE DESIGN CYCLE **** EGG DROP DESIGN FOLDER **



// a. Identify the Problem: // 1. Identify the Problem: Keeping an egg alive when you drop it from 15 feet high. // b. Develop the Design Brief: // 2. Research, and find designs that would work for your egg drop. 3. How do you know that these resources are trustworthy? They look like a smart idea and my dad told me that it looked like a really smart idea. 4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? Because anyone can make them and a lot of people aren't trustworthy. // c. Formulate a Design Specification // 5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop:
 * STEP 1: INVESTIGATE **


 * Using the Design Cycle, create an "egg pod" that will save an egg from a 15 foot drop.
 * You will have 60 straws to complete this assignment.
 * You will have a few (5 - 7) glue sticks to complete this project.
 * You will not receive your egg until we are outside the day we drop the eggs.
 * You will not have any glue the day we drop the eggs.
 * Create a new page on your wiki and name it "Egg Drop" - your entire Design Folder should be posted on this page. Copy and paste the Design Folder onto your new page.

6. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”? Just in case your design doesn't work the way you want it to, like if it falls the wrong way. 7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? It shows a lot of job qualities like for engineering, and it helps bring your creativity up! You probably will use the same type of thing/ situation in jobs like engineering. // a. Design a Product or Solution: // 8. Create three completely different designs using the Brainstorming Chart. [|IB Brainstorming Chart .pdf] // b. Plan a Product or Solution: // 9. Which design do you think will work best? The first one i looked up with the straws poking out the sids. 10. Why did you choose this design? because the ones sticking out will help the crash not crack the egg which is inside of a compartment. 11. On the back of your brainstorming paper, draw your final draft. 12. Plan how you will get the entire project finished by May 11. (I will help you with this step!) // a. Use Appropriate Techniques and Equipment: // 13. List three safety tips you need to follow to while creating your egg drop: Be careful using the hot glue gun so that you don't burn yourself 14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: Yes, because we had a good attitude about it and we were responsible and respective when walking around the classroom after we finished. // b. Follow the Plan: // 15. Did you follow your plan? Yes 16. Did you create steps in your plan that were easy to follow? Yes 17. Did you follow my requirements? yes // c. Create the Product/Solution: // 18. What areas of your plan needed troubleshooting? the outside part // a. Evaluate the Product/Solution: // 19. Was your design successful? It survived the first round 20. How could you improve your solution? Use more glue make it more stable 21. What part of your design would you use again? the pokey sticks // b. Evaluate the Use of the Design Cycle: // 26. How can the Design Cycle be used in other subject areas? You can use it in any other subject to create projects. 27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) Investing in an expensive thing, getting a job, moving 28. Were you nice? yes 29. Were you respectful to everyone in the class and all the equipment in the classroom? Yes, very 30. Were you a whiny-baby? NO! 31. On a scale of 1 - 6, give yourself a grade for your attitude: 6!!!!!!!!
